IYC

IYC Innovation Youth Centre is an organisation that works to create the best outcomes for young people and community by using innovation and youth participate.

IYC would act as the project coordinator and lead agency, it is proposed that a collaborative management & staffing structure be developed that includes partner agencies taking responsibility for key service outcomes and management. These agencies would be on a part time, sessional or project basis, and would cover issues identified in the research, including health, employment and community educa

tion. Research has identified significant support for young people to be involved in the running a youth centre by way of peer reference group and student work placements. (YAC VIC codes of Ethics)

Example that this model can benchmark against is Phoenix Youth Centre (PYC) run by the Maribyrnong Council that has a open drop in model, Monash Youth and Family Services (MYFS) that has structured programs for community running out of the building and the Northland Youth Centre (NYC) run by the City of Darebin, that the Founder of Innovation Youth Centre created and built for the City of Darebin in his previous role, that has been a success that the Victorian State co-funded through the department of planning and community development in 2009. Other council youth services have benchmarked against the NYC model. The IYC model will have same aspect of the NYC model; it will have a stronger focus on youth participation through innovation.
